Page 23. Breake of Day.
This is set to the following air in Corkine's Second Book of Ayres (1612). As given here it has been transcribed by Mr. Barclay Squire, omitting the lute accompaniment:
'T IS true, 'tis day; What though it be?
And wilt thou therefore rise from me?
What, will you rise, What, will you rise, because 'tis light?
Did we lie downe, because 'twas night?
Love which in spight of darknesse brought us hether,
In spight of light should keepe us still together.
In spight of light should keepe us still together.
In spight of light should keepe us still together.
